“…Being in the middle of a public and tragic event had many unpleasant implications. First, it put me in an uncomfortable and unwanted exposure position. Second, I had the impression that the public image intrusiveness, rather than getting me closer to my father, pushed him far away from me…”
Benedetta Tobagi
“Era mio Padre”, second part of "Elettra, trilogia di un'attesa”, finds its inspiration in the figure of a contemporary woman: Benedetta Tobagi, daughter of Walter Tobagi – a journalist at the Corriere della Sera newspaper – who was killed in 1980. Electra is trying to go beyond her father’s public image in order to recover the private one.
Two bodies, Elettra and her brother, alternating a joyful and excited briskness to a strong aggressiveness: they get apart, they look for the other, they chase, they reach the other, they look, they get lost in rough sea, and in such a tireless variation the troubled souls finally find each other. Together, they try to recover the private image of their father, through a few memories made of written words, gestures and glances.
This “vision” of Electra is a starting point for a consideration on desire: as devastating as the desire for revenge, and as deep as the desire for love.
